He would go on the lose to Italian Gianluca Naso in straight sets 4–6, 2–6. In 2014 he was given a wildcard into the main draw of the 2014 Zagreb Indoors where again he was defeated in the first round, this time by compatriot and fifth seed Marin Čilić 4–6, 4–6. Three months later at the 2014 Düsseldorf Open he qualified for a main draw for the first time in his career, and then went on to defeat Michał Przysiężny in the first round 7–5, 7–5, as well as Dustin Brown in the second round 6–3, 6–0, before eventually falling in the quarterfinals to Philipp Kohlschreiber in three sets 5–7, 6–4, 1–6. His only other win at the ATP Tour level was in a singles tie of Davis Cup play, where he represents his native Croatia.
